Awaken to the world in flames
Thank the eastern sky for the sun
Stretch to the music of songbirds
Sit still and notice what comes next
Bathe in steaming sacred droplets
Dress in garments stitched by strangers
Eat grains and fruits and nuts for strength
Pick up burdens and belongings
Try a fresh route to the same place
Fall madly in love before lunch
Create something new and share it
Solve a problem; laugh and tell jokes
Take a few trips to the toilet
Drink water, ask how people are
Listen to all their responses
Offer support, ask for it too
Leave when it is time, no later
Break your own heart and then mend it
Smile at some familiar comfort
Sit down, relax, be welcomed home
Enjoy a meal and something sweet
Unwind, take in entertainment
Appreciate an artist’s craft
Make love a top priority
Lie down, the world is still in flames
Wonder when there will be a change
Play one last song, read one last thing
Switch off the lamp, begin to dream
